And I Set My Life on Fire

and while a thunderbolt
struck down the noise
carried over eons, in thoughts,
and the steady ground
turned the hourglass
of time, in moments caught,
and the heaving oceans
coursed through my veins
without a shore,
and the winds
from the heavens
fanned the fire in my core,
I walked each blind turn,
fell through every chasm,
seeking those who stoked
my flames, my passion;
glorious rites of passage,
birth canals re-birthed, 
only so I could be 
who I was meant to be
in each moment,
to set myself and my life
on fire, and roam free.
